Design

A slightly modified Estes Amazon. 4 small pressure ports were drilled around the base of the payload tube. The nose cone was held on with a pair of nylon screws (nylon nuts were attached to the inside of the hollow nose cone with E6000).

The electronics were mounted on a custom laser-cut plywood sled.

Painting

A plain green was used for the majority of the rocket, with a short fade into yellow for the fins and fin can. Several coats of clear gloss were applied to provide protection.
